Ukulele Noir Slide Show

This is a slide show of the October Ukulele Noir at Johnny Ds. It was done by Boston University student Jordana Feldman...

The Million Ukulele March

Stephen Becker invites other Barack Obama supporters to join the "Million Uke March":

"The Million Uke March is looking for 1,000,000 pickers and grinners, strummers and hummers (that's a small h) and ukaholics of all shapes, stripes and stars to raise your sopranos, concerts, tenors, pineapples, fleas, flukes, banjoleles, box-a-leles and yes, even those baritones, and show your support for an Obama victory in the 2008 Presidential election."

There's even an anthem!

I don't quite understand how all this works, but I'm sure you all will figure it out. Link

(BTW, if anyone knows of a McCain ukulele fan group, drop me a note. In the spirit of bi-partisanship, I'll blog it.)

No tricks, all treat

Have an out-of-body experience. Enhanced aural stimulation provided.
